USS Nimitz (CVN-68) 1979-80 Med/Indian Ocean Cruise Varsity Jacket

Honor the crew of USS Nimitz (CVN-68) on her historic 1979-80 Mediterranean and Indian Ocean deployment, which launched the aircraft for Operation Eagle Claw - the Iran hostage rescue attempt. This heavyweight varsity jacket features the official cruise design with port visits to Italy, Spain, Tunisia, and Egypt.

Extended on station in the Indian Ocean during the Iran hostage crisis, Nimitz and her crew answered the nation's call during one of the era's defining moments.

Will my graphic last? Built to stay put. Your design is applied with heat-transfer film technology — the same category of application the pros trust for names and numbers on professional and college sports jerseys. Bonded under heat and pressure, it holds up to real wear, real weather, and repeated washing without cracking or peeling when cared for properly. Turn the jacket inside out, wash cold, and hang or tumble dry low, and your graphic keeps looking sharp for the long haul.
